The food menu is pathetically small and basic. Also they made recent changes so the upstairs and downstairs have different menus, which of course they don't bother to communicate. Food taste like I could buy it and Costco and heat it up at home. The general apathetic attitude begins with host at check-in. Another classic example of they have little competition once you're in California Adventure, so they know they don't have to try to hard.

Be very careful this restaurant no longer serves lobster nachos. Also we ordered the prime rib at $40 a plate and it was the toughest cut of meat x three of us! We mentioned to our server that we had a birthday in our party and all he offered was a $50 cake no on the house dessert for the birthday girl. Definitely not worth the time or money at this restaurant.

I had an incredible experience dining at the Lamplight Lounge! The salad with goat cheese, persimmons, homemade croutons, and squash with added chicken was so delicious! The drinks were outstanding and the best cocktails I’ve had in Disneyland. I would recommend booking an online reservation ahead of time due to it getting quite busy. The location is right on paradise pier with a gorgeous view of the park and waterfront. The bartenders were so friendly and down to earth. Would definitely be back for the amazing food and drink, outstanding service, and great atmosphere!

Service was spotty and we were being rushed to finish/pay at 8pm when we had a 7:30 reservation. I was even told the soda machine was closed when I asked for a refill of my Diet Coke at 7:50. Server did find me a Diet Coke when I pushed back…
The lobster nachos are super overrated, as the chips were so stale I only ate the toppings.
Gf daughter’s cauliflower was soggy likely due to oil in fryer not being hot enough.
Since you can no longer dine there for WOC, it’s not worth making a res.

The confusion with check in out front had 3 converging lines with no direction from staff people cutting in line in front of people constantly.
We had checked in with the text they sent us and we were sent to this line.
I stood there and watched the staff direct people to go wait in line and then move the line and people would cut in and then get there text.
Extremely unclear setup and staff didn't care.
Then when we finally got seated first set of empty food plates with our silverware and napkins came out with dried food stuck to them.
Sent them back.
The table water is plan tap water not filtered tasted terrible not drinkable.
Had to ask at the bar for seltzer water so I could get filtered water to drink.
The silverware I discovered had food stuck to them also. Set them aside.
Ordered 2 drinks.
Asked for what they had for a unsweetened cocktail.
They recommended one and I said great as long as it's not sugary.
Then ordered food.
Food arrived about 15 minutes later
Waited 15 more minutes then our drinks arrived.
Wife's drink was fine mine was full of sugar opposite of what I asked for.
Waited for the server to return, well we finished our food. Continued to wait roughly 10 more minutes he came back. I politely returned drink for a vodka seltzer. Waited roughly 10 more minutes got my vodka seltzer, it was flat no fizz.
Epic issues with complete lack of Disney magic
They refunded my drink that I didn't consume.
And gave us a lightning lane for our troubles.
Not worth it sad service.
